That is a rather neat item and looks perfect for apartments and water based poly C
Hope you get to feeling better. I spent a 2 of days last week in the cardio unit, so my progress slowed down, but still trucking on.
I ended up using nitrate dope (OUTSIDE WITH A SMALL BREEZE STIRRING) to apply the corners and edges of the fabric. Only have the bottoms of the tips and some small trim areas done.
Mine by the way, is over here http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_10..._1/key_/tm.htm

Great post and thread. I just picked one up completed. I have a small puncher on top of the wing. If this was built in the eighties what material do you think they used. How should I patch it. Can I put bigger tires on it.
thanks

I Sent you my address. That is really nice of you.
I will repay you in some way.
Where did you get your wheels?
Did you upgrade your dragger too?
What size iron should i get?

Don't see your address yet. I got my wheels from Dubro 3.5 low bounce. You might want to check you axel size for correct diameter. As for tail wheel I have a 1.5 inch.
I would only use an iron, Heat gun would be to much and would raise more problems. I use my sealing covering iron and set temp around 225. Just be gentle with the original covering.
Will get covering out tomorrow.
